Akron, Ohio, July 31, 2016– With sadness and a heavy heart, the City of Akron has learned that our community and our city has lost one of its greatest champions, with the passing of Summit County Executive Russ Pry. He passed away in the company of those he loved.

Mayor Horrigan shares, “I’ve lost a great friend much too early. We will all miss his leadership and his ability to bring people together. Russ had an uncanny knack for empathizing and identifying with all people, regardless of their age, race, gender, orientation or creed, making him well-loved by all. Personally, I will miss his friendship, his quick wit and his invaluable advice.”

The City of Akron commits to continue to be a valued to partner to the County in any way possible as the administration transitions during this difficult time.
